Liz Prato is a frequent visitor to Hawaii and feels very connected to it. Here she writes about that connection and her family. It‘s a bit of a mixed bag. Her writing about her family is lovely, and while her connection to Hawaii is nice, she fails to recognize her own contradictions and wants to claim the place in a way she really shouldn‘t. (Please, don‘t try using Pidgin.) Pick for parts, so-so for other bits.
squirrelbrain Hmm, bit ironic when the title of the book includes ‘privilege‘. 🤷♀️ 2mo

Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain Right? It‘s interesting. She‘s never lived in Hawaii, says how important it is to respect the culture and the people (good), talks about how bad the resorts are for the locals (true), then goes on about how much she loves the hotels and turns her nose up at the places where people actually live. It‘s so odd that she doesn‘t see it! 2mo
